Cruitfly recently provided EPA-accredited asbestos abatement workers and supervisors for a remediation project at Clemson University in South Carolina. The project involved removing asbestos-containing materials (ACM) bonded to cement surfaces inside a dormitory building prior to demolition.
Because asbestos must be safely removed before structural demolition begins, the project required certified labor, engineered containment systems, and strict OSHA and EPA compliance.
The abatement process used high-powered water (hydro-removal) to safely strip asbestos-containing cement materials. This wet removal method helps reduce airborne fibers and minimize dust when performed inside a fully sealed containment area.
The containment system included:
Cruitfly supplied workers trained in OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101 asbestos standards, proper PPE use, and wet removal techniques to ensure safe and compliant execution.
Removing asbestos prior to demolition is required to:
Once abatement was completed and clearance testing performed, the structure was prepared for the next phase of demolition.
All Cruitfly workers assigned to the Clemson University project held:
Cruitfly supports contractors across South Carolina with certified environmental abatement and demolition staffing for universities, hospitals, commercial redevelopment, and industrial facilities.
Workers must complete an EPA-accredited asbestos training course and maintain annual refresher certification. State-level accreditation is also required.
Federal and state regulations require asbestos-containing materials to be removed prior to demolition to prevent airborne fiber exposure and environmental contamination.
Cruitfly supplied numerous positions for this project from just 2 to over 40 accredited workers. Cruitfly has the capabilities to handle small and large staffing projects nationwide.
Negative air containment uses HEPA-filtered air machines to maintain lower air pressure inside the work area, preventing asbestos fibers from escaping into surrounding spaces.
